Phyllis (mythology)

Phyllis (Ancient Greek: Φυλλίς, "leaves, foliage") is a character in Greek mythology, daughter of a Thracian king (according to some, of Sithon;[1][2] most other accounts do not give her father's name at all, but one states he is named either Philander, Ciasus, or Thelus[3]). She marries Demophon, King of Athens and son of Theseus, while he stops in Thrace on his journey home from the Trojan War.[4]

Not to be confused with Phyllis (river god), the consort of Ereuthalion or the mother of Alcaeus (mythology)
